Screens

She screams
Mommy please 

Mommy the screenshot, the screensaver, the screen lover
Finding lovers on the screen
Lots of lovers to stream
Eyes on the dreams

Yet she misses the tenth crawl
The first push of the little girl's legs 
The baby step..
The step that reaches to her
The little fingers that dig softly to her as she tries to balance herself 
The purest eyes that seek her attention 
The arms that need a lift, to sit on a lap, to hug, to cuddle tight

She screams
